Listen "Testing the Lines: Challenging the Boundaries of Race, Gender, and Sexuality Onboard the American Railroad"
Episode Synopsis
This episode is the second part of a two part interview with Miriam Thaggert, a professor at the University at Buffalo about her new book Riding Jane Crow: African American Women in the American Railroad. In part one we discussed how railroad travel was both radicalized and gendered and how African American men and women used train travel as a marker of social progress, or lack thereof. In this episode we look at a few individuals who helped test these racial and gender boundries.
